Bio

My areas of focus are the politics of China and the Internet. As a Ph. D. candidate
with a primary focus on the field of Comparative Politics and minor in International
Relations, I specialize in the study of East Asia both within countries and between
countries. Additionally, my studies of current politics lead me to take the position
that the Internet is worthy of the same attention and study as any other geographic
region. As such, I hold an interest and expertise in the effects of the Internet on
politics and politics on the Internet in global and regional contexts. My current
dissertation research engages the concept of political trust from a Chinese perspective
by conducting field interviews in Beijing. I endeavor to teach and research Chinese
politics in a university setting.
